oftpedia was informed today, December 22, 2016, by NethServer developer and community manager Alessio Fattorini about the immediate availability of the third Release Candidate of the upcoming NethServer 7 operating system.Now that the CentOS community announced the final release of the CentOS 7.3 (build 1611) distribution based on the freely distributed source code of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 operating system, it's time for NethServer 7 to hit the streets as well, and the last Release Candidate is here to resolve the remaining blockers.

"Time is gone in a rush since our last Release Candidate and we’re approaching very quickly the final release, but as you know we’re still fixing bugs and sorting out some issues that came up," said Alessio Fattorini. "Now, after a few weeks of hard work, we’re finally ready for NethServer 7 RC3 “Tiramisù” and it’s time to get it off the ground."

Here's what's new in NethServer 7 RC3

Among the changes and improvements implemented in the RC3 development release of NethServer 7, we can mention that the MITM (Man In The Middle) feature of the Transparent HTTPS proxy was dropped due to the fact that CentOS 7.3 ships with Squid 3.5, which features a brand-new function for intercepting HTTPS connections.

Also because of Squid 3.5, the squidGuard filter, redirector and access controller plugin was replaced with ufdbGuard, the configuration of remote account providers has been simplified, the DPI module was updated to work with the upstream kernel included in CentOS 7.3, and the "Administrators" group is now visible in the management interface.

As expected, many of the pre-installed packages have been updated to their latest versions at the moment of the release. Support for UEFI BIOS is now provided, the certificate management functionality was improved, and support for both support Kerberos and NTLM authentication methods has been added to Samba.

Last but not least, NethServer 7 RC2 increases the size of the /boot partition to 1GB, upgrades the Nextcloud self-hosting cloud server to version 10.0.2, and lists remote users and groups in real-time on the web-based interface.
